Just got an e-mail from the temple. I had e-mailed them a week ago to sign up for the course, so then e-mailed them again to try to confirm because I hadn't heard back from them. Turns out that suddenly they "don't have room at this time." They offered starting it on the 25th, but it will be too late to do what I really need to, since my dad and I ( Read more... )

As everyone who'd kept up with my journal knows I am in Thailand currently, and my surgery options are not as available here as I had previously thought. So! Because I plan to be heading off for Serbia relatively soon (by October) I will be needing more information, as I am not familiar with the area (except for the fact the country I come from ( Read more... )

Well, I have taken a sort of side trip with my father outside of Bangkok, Ayuthaya and Korat. Took some nice photos.As it turns out, the Thai calender is about 300 years ahead of the Gregorian ( Read more... )

Made it to Bangkok a couple days ago.. No update was written about my trip because I've been WAY too busy, and internet restrictions due to Job Corps blocks ( Read more... )

I guess it's been awhile. I've been keeping myself really busy getting my life together. The good news is that it seems to be working and maybe even going somewhere. And not really any bad news, just a bit of confusion ( Read more... )

I don't know what I want, and I'm getting to be too afraid to even try to figure it out. I'm afraid of spending the rest of my life like this, and yet I'm also afraid of continuing to be hurt by fake, selfish people. It's getting to where it's even hard to relate to many people on even the most basic levels. It can't 100% be put on any one thing, ( Read more... )

Oh, the days my schizophrenic dad seemed all the more sane than anyone in the world.... Maybe my problem these days is that my life has been too easy, because I know I thrive on challenge. I like the fact that I'm different, though some days I try to fool myself that I'm like everyone else. I know I've changed, but I know I'm not the same. I can't ( Read more... )

I wonder if it was a survival skill while I was in Oregon to really feel like I needed to be an asshole... Maybe it was the fact that I was constantly bored and lonely, and seemingly ALWAYS in a state of depression. Maybe it was the fact that there were about 200 extremely pompous, immature little twits running around all over the place, without a ( Read more... )

I've been really busy. As that may or may not be a good thing, I am at least accomplishing things. I am feeling a whole lot less depressed, and am starting to lose some weight again. I still have quite a ways to go with that, but I have chosen to take it slowly, as I have realized I need to be in the proper mindset to be able to keep myself ( Read more... )

Sometimes I feel like my life is on a teeter-totter. Once I get one part of my life somewhat balanced out, another part of it comes flying at me from seemingly out of nowhere. This couldn't be reality... Not that I'm in denial or anything, but after all this soul searching and other similar stuff, I still find that some of the simplest things in ( Read more... )
